-Emory’s Alan Abramowitz shows that Democrats have fewer marginal seats to defend than in 1994
–NYT’s Ross Douthat on how members of the cult of the presidency demand the appearance of action from Obama on the Gulf spill
–As predicted, repeal of health care reform is a non-starter so far — proposal to roll back individual mandate loses 230-187 in House

-Things I hate: Disproportionate coverage of televised speeches like Obama’s — they don’t matter (much)

-If you went to a college like Swarthmore and you’re not following feministhulk on Twitter, you are missing out
-People are way too carried away with conspiracy theories about the Democratic Senate primary in South Carolina — remember all the nonsense about Ohio and Florida in 2004? Time to slow down
